The reason why Zhang Shen came out to gather the four class masters and some powerful generals was that the order of retreat was too important. From the official position, he was only Yang Gong's aide, not a man who could make decisions.

Yang Gong, who can be the master, is in a coma. It's hard to predict whether he will live or die. Another master is killed by Xu Erlang.

From Qingzhou to Xunzhou, he fought all the way. This scholar, who is extremely weak in appearance, has accumulated incalculable hostility in his heart.

In the past, he gave Xu Erlang ten courage, and he did not dare to kill a Chengxuan envoy who was subordinate to the second grade.

In troubled times, people's lives are like weeds, not just the common people, but also officials and soldiers.

Soon, except for the general on duty, all the high-level officers were called in the commanding compound of the barracks.

Among these people, there are several guild leaders and sect leaders of the Wulin League, some rebel leaders such as Yang Qianhuan of Chu Yuan Zhen HengYuan, some military generals such as Yang Yan and Chen Ying in the imperial court, and some former garrison generals of Qingzhou who are not high in cultivation but have rich experience in leading battles.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Mi, the former commander of Qingzhou capital, is the highest ranking official except Yang Gong, who has died in Xunzhou.

In the inner hall, a middle-aged Eunuch in a mang robe looked around after the crowd and said in a deep voice:

"How is Yang Gong injured?"

Li mubai, the first one on the left, said faintly:

"My life is saved, but I'm still in a coma. As for when I wake up, I don't know."

The handprint eunuch frowned and looked at the white figure with his back to the crowd

"You can't even save Yang Qianhuan?"

The white figure with his back to all living beings raised his chin and said haughtily:

"If it had not been for Yang who invited the moon to pick the stars, Yang Gong would have died in the city."

The eunuch moved his lips, dismissed the idea of talking with Yang Qianhuan, drew back his eyes, and continued to ask:

"Where's Yao Hong?"

People look at Xu Xinnian.

To tell you the truth, Yang Yan and others have been in the officialdom for many years, but they dare not kill the second grade political emissary before they have to.

The sect leaders of the Wulin League don't do this kind of thing. They are the ministers of one state, and they are the officials of the second class. Are they the outsiders who want to fight and kill.

The Wulin League and the Dafeng imperial court have such a great relationship. If the relationship is broken or the heart is divided because of Chong Guan's anger, then the gain is not worth the loss.

Maybe only Xu Xinnian has the confidence and determination to do so. When he sees something wrong, he immediately puts it out. He even knows that everyone is worried and takes the initiative to shoulder the burden.

Although he is not as dazzling as his cousin Xu Qi'an, his ability, courage and responsibility have been unanimously recognized by Yang Yan and others.

Xu Xinnian's calm response:

"In order to appease the officialdom and the squires, Yao Buzheng envoys worked hard and became ill, and recuperated in his family."

Just give Yao Hong a chance to die for his country.

Xu Xinnian is not afraid that the empress will ask for a crime after the incident is exposed. Not to mention whether Huaiqing will ask for a crime, even if he will, he will turn back and push his elder brother forward. Which insect dares to make a sound?

"Thank you, Mr. Yao!"

The eunuch coughed and went straight to the point

"We are ordered by your majesty to leave Yongzhou overnight, preserve our strength and retreat to the capital."

There was no one to speak, and the people were silent, making eye contact. There was no surprise, only anger and unwillingness.

First of all, Yongzhou is the last barrier, lost Yongzhou, Yunzhou army hit the capital..

In fact, from the perspective of Xu Erlang and others, we can also understand that a decisive battle with the Yunzhou army in the capital is more likely to win.

But the problem is, it's a dangerous move. There is no way out for Dafeng.

Secondly, if we give up Yongzhou, Xu Pingfeng's fighting power will go up to a higher level. Yunzhou army will also seize Yongzhou materials and recruit troops. It is not easy to defeat Yunzhou army. Should all previous achievements be wasted?

Finally, what about the people in Yongzhou?

Although people's lives are like weeds in troubled times, people are also compassionate. If the Yunzhou army slaughters the city, the hundreds of thousands of people

Seeing that no one was speaking, Li mubai coughed and said:

"I can't do it!

"If you give up Yongzhou, it will encourage Yunzhou army's arrogance and make them recover. There is no result yet in the war of plundering the northern border. We can do it according to your Majesty's instructions. Even if Xu Yinluo wins the war of plundering the northern border, we may not have a chance of winning. "

Don't forget that the success of Luoyu's robbery in HENGDU was just a matter of struggling to keep up with the fighting power, not that Dafeng could fight against Yunzhou.

Zhang Shen said lightly:

"Your Majesty is very talented, but he is not good at leading a war. Miscalculation is inevitable.

"We also have our own opinions on the so-called rejection of your orders. Your majesty blames me afterwards. You can come to me, Zhang Shen."

Yang Yan and others are the confidants of Wei Yuan and the empress, but they support the great Confucians of Yunlu Academy in this matter.

His majesty Huaiqing is not inferior to men in talent and learning, and even far superior to ordinary talents. But she is also a woman. What does she know about war?

However, they are women's emperors after all, and they will not show it if they think about it in their hearts.

Fu Jingmen hums coldly

"If you want to withdraw, you will withdraw yourself, but the Wulin League will not!"

Yang cuixue touched the sword and whispered:

"All the old disciples died in Yongzhou, and I should die here. It's not a waste of time.

"The Wulin League is not under the control of the imperial court. If you want to go, you should go."

Qingzhou will be slightly moved, passionate.

The eunuch palmprint remembered what his majesty told him before he went to Yongzhou.

His majesty said that if the Yongzhou garrison resisted, he would tell them that Duke Wei was reborn.

Your majesty, it's like a god! The eunuch took a deep breath and said:

"This is the order of Duke Wei!"

With that, he found that the hall was suddenly quiet, the needle could be heard, and the people looked at him without saying a word.

The look was very strange, indescribable.

After a few seconds, Yang Yan's forehead was blue, and he said word by word:

"Are you making fun of us?"

He vowed that if the dead eunuch dared to admit it, he would dare to stab each other in the chest in front of everyone.

The eunuch of handprint came out of Huaiqing's house. He was not afraid of the big wind and waves, and said calmly:

"Duke Wei has been resurrected today. Your majesty summoned his soul. If you don't believe it, you can verify it when you go back to the capital. "

There was an uproar in the hall.

People's expression is different, ecstatic, at a loss, stunned, questioned, excited

Zhang Shen pondered

"If Wei Yuan really resurrects, then I agree to retreat to the capital."

Because Wei Yuan was in charge of the army, the decision to retreat to the capital was not a desperate decision, but a decision to die.

But they still didn't believe it.

Wei Yuan had already died in the war in Jingshan city.

At this time, everyone in the hall heard Yang Qianhuan say slowly:

"He didn't lie!"

A pair of eyes immediately toward the back of the white warlock's head focus and go.

Yang Yan asks for confirmation

"Did you use the technique of looking at Qi?"

It seems that you haven't turned your head... Xu Erlang and others added in their hearts.

Yang Qianhuan said with a slow, impatient tone:

"No, I didn't. But

He made a deliberate pause to attract attention.

Want to hit him... Yang Yan and others hand back blue muscle burst up, can't help but hold the weapon.

No matter how outsiders feel, Yang Qianhuan himself is as steady as an old dog and says calmly:

"But I have seen Wei Yuan's body in Song Qing's secret room, and I know that Xu Qi'an has been trying to revive Wei Yuan."

Oh, it's Wei Yuan from Xu Yinluo's resurrection... People suddenly realized.

The doubts in Yang Yan's mind dissipated.

If Xu Qi'an is reviving Wei Yuan, it is more credible than the explanation of "Your Majesty personally revives Wei Yuan".

Li mubai breathed a sigh of relief and looked around

"Well, what do you think?"

"Go away!" Fu Jing door immediately way.

On the spot, everyone chose to leave Yongzhou. Yang Yan and others even couldn't wait to return to the capital immediately to see Wei Yuan.

"Yang Yan, Chen Ying, Yang Qianhuan..."

The eunuchs named them one by one. They were all the confidants of Wei Yuan and the empress, plus a forced king

"You have another mission. You don't have to go back to the capital with the army."

Yang Yan and others looked at each other and said:

"What do you want from Duke Wei?"

The eunuch took out the brocade bag and said with a smile:

"It's all in there."

It can be said that the eunuch in charge of the seal will leave soon, but the evacuation of the army is a complicated work, including but not limited to gathering people, transferring weapons, money and food, and destroying the bed crossbows and city guns that cannot be carried.

Because the Yunzhou army was fifty miles away, in order not to disturb the other side, it was unable to take the people and evacuate on a large scale.

So the garrison didn't disturb the people, but Xu Erlang asked Miao Youfang to lead the team and take all the rich squires and officials with him.

Those who don't want to go will be convinced by reason.

In addition, Li mubai ordered people to plant grass men and put them at the head of the city to confuse the Scouts of Yunzhou army.

...........

Dawn, the deepest hour of the sky.

The Yunzhou army, which had already assembled, quietly approached Yongzhou City under the cover of the army.

A scouting with good accomplishments, with strong eyesight, with the help of a single telescope, overlooking the city of Yongzhou, saw dense figures standing in the dark at the head of the city.

"Hiss, No.."

The Scout took a cold breath and said to himself:

"Why did the number of people suddenly increase several times? Did you expect us to attack the city?"

Normally, there will not be too many garrisons at the head of the city. They only keep a certain number. Most of the soldiers rest in the barracks under the city to ensure their health at the peak.

Vigilance is the business of scouts.

The scoundrel turned to his companion and said:

"When I go back to report, I say that the situation at the head of the city is not right. There are a large number of people on duty for fear of fraud."

He was worried that his own movements would be foreseen in advance, that the garrison would be well prepared, and even made plans for the attack.

Scouts quickly went to Yunzhou army to report the situation. For the sake of caution, the army stopped and sent scouts around to collect intelligence.

As time went by, the east side gradually turned white, and the dark sky became dark.

At this time, the Yunzhou army found that something was wrong. At the head of the city, it turned out that they were grass-roots people.

Grass man?

In the military account, Qi Guangbo's heart sank when he heard the report

"Send a flying rider to investigate the situation."

A rider of the rosefinch army, driving his flying horse to Yongzhou City, swam over the city for a long time and turned back to Yunzhou army

Dafeng garrison evacuated Yongzhou and the barracks were empty.

Qi Guangbo no longer hesitated, sent a large army to the city, and easily captured Yongzhou.

After some exploration and exploration, it was found that Dafeng garrison had taken grain, gold and silver, armaments and destroyed large equipment.

Only a hundred thousand Yongzhou people were left.

...........

Inside the urn.

After hearing Qi Guangbo's report, Xu Pingfeng, who is as white as snow, was not surprised and breathed:

"Wei Yuan wants to compete with me in the capital."

Qi Guangbo, dressed in military uniform, pressed the handle of the knife and said slowly:

"It's worthy of Wei Yuan. This determination is beyond ordinary people's ability."

It's better to stay in Yongzhou, retain high-end combat power and troops, and retreat to the capital, but the corresponding cost is enough to make a group of experienced veterans and counselors in a dilemma.

But the first thing after Wei Yuan's rebirth was to transfer Yongzhou's troops back to the capital to increase its defense force.

A qualified coordinator is reflected in these details.

Qi Guangbo continued

"Money, grain and armaments have been taken away, but the people are still there, every household has some reserves, and the forces of the rivers and lakes in Yongzhou are still there, which is very good."

Those who can live in Yongzhou City are well-off people. If they dig three feet of land, they can also find a lot of wealth to supplement the military spending.

However, the forces of the rivers and lakes in Yongzhou can be used to make up for the lack of combat power.

Xu Pingfeng said:

"Take a rest, wait for me to refine Yongzhou and go north immediately. Wei Yuan wants to feed us with Yongzhou, delay time? How can he do as he wishes. "

Qi Guangbo takes a deep breath and is full of fighting spirit

"The idea of the national division is that before the end of the northern border crossing robbery war, Chen Bing and Xu Qi'an were forced to take the capital as the battlefield and completely split with Dafeng."

Xu Pingfeng nodded slightly

"The battle has come to an end. Do you still have to entangle with Dafeng for several months? I won't give Wei Yuan a break. Fight fast, fight fast, and make a quick decision. "

Qi Guangbo nodded, which was also his idea.

The situation has come to this stage, and the battlefield has been pushed to the capital, but it can be the final conclusion of the battle.

"What about the war in the north?"

Jialuoshu and Baidi didn't kill Da Fengfang's extraordinary yet. He couldn't believe it.

Xu Pingfeng said:

"My separation has gone to the north."

He didn't have much fighting power. He just didn't trust the northern battlefield and wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on.

As a chess player, he is used to controlling everything in his hands, so when the war in the northern border gets stuck, he will feel anxious and uneasy instinctively.

To be sure, there must be something wrong with the war.

Xu Pingfeng can more or less guess that the problem lies in Xu Qian and his "Tao" that the stronger the Vietnam War is, but even with his wisdom, he still doesn't know what kind of strength can support a second class martial arts man to fight with first class martial arts for such a long time.

have never even heard of it.

Of course, he didn't know that there were only a few people in the world who knew this, and they were all old monsters who lived for endless years.

That immortal tree, now in the palace can moisten.

..........

"Aunt mu, don't you know?"

Xu Lingyue blinked her eyes and said in a soft, weak and heartless voice:

"Spring Festival has passed. My elder brother and his highness Lin'an's marriage is only half a month later. My mother didn't tell you?"

In the palace, elegant courtyard, stone table, mu Nanzhi airway:

"Your mother knows how to raise flowers all day long. If she doesn't know, she thinks she is the God of flowers!"

Xu Lingyue said blankly:

"What flower god?"

"Nothing. I'll go to Fengqi palace and meet the old woman!" Mu Nanzhi gets up.

Xu Lingyue was surprised and looked at mu Nanzhi repeatedly. The old woman means the Empress Dowager. What's her identity? She dares to call the Empress Dowager like this.
